Woodwind Ensemble Bassoon,English Horn,Oboe - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.582045 Composed by Samuel Scheidt. Arranged by John Gibson. Baroque,Christmas,Instructional. 28 pages. JB Linear #4627555. Published by JB Linear (A0.582045). Samuel Scheidt's Praise to You, Jesus Christ (Gelobet seist du, Jesu Christ SSWV 135, 1624) set for double reed quartet by John Gibson. This was originally written for organ and includes a number of variations of the melody (Choralis). At the beginning is the version found in the German Lutheran Hymnal of 1912 which introduces the tune. As is usual for music of this period, the parts are rather independent and require careful counting! The hymn tune is found in different voices in each variation. This was music written to be played at Christmas. It is set for two oboes, English horn, and bassoon. Depending on the tempo, this is not difficult music, but it is best not to play too slowly!
